What the college says
Student views: “I love it ! You usually spend at the start of your first year learning about technical elements such as shooting film, using a darkroom using Photoshop and Lightroom, and learning how to understand camera controls and setups on location and in a studio setting. You can start with your own projects under a certain theme, interpreting it in your own way and responding to it by researching into a range of practising photographers and artists to inform the style of your work.” “Photography has allowed me to develop my creative skills and my analytical research skills. “
